To the Mission Fields in 1911

By W. A. SPICER

The list of outgoing missionaries for 1911 is longer than the Mission Board contemplated at the beginning of the year. It was well understood that with the spreading forth of the work of former years, and the large increase of workers in the fields bringing heavy strain upon the mission treasury, the departure of missionaries would have to be cut down in 1911.
But by ones and twos and families, the need in the fields has been drawing the workers out until the list falls but little short of that of 1910, when seventy-seven workers sailed for the fields.
This list, as in former years, includes those who have gone from Europe or from colonial fields to regions still beyond. The list is sure to be incomplete so far as workers going out from Europe and Australia is concerned, and South Africa may have been sending further help from the base in the colonies up into the African interior during the closing weeks of 1911, of which we have not yet the report.
The list for 1911, month by month, is as follows:—

DECEMBER

I. R. Evenson, to England, to attend school, preparatory to working in Great Britain.
E. N. Shepherd and wife, to St. Thomas, Danish West Indies.
This means sixty-five workers, not counting the children, though the latter are helpers in the fields.
This additional list is an additional call to prayer, and to consecration of means to the missionary advance.
Pray for these workers and for their families. Many a missionary family has an anxious time as parents see the children growing up amid conditions far different from those which might surround them in the home lands. But the faces of these workers are set with eyes toward the front and the goal of the finished work.
W. A. SPICER, Secretary.
